Materials such as stainless steel and aluminum reduced the overall weight of each car, making them more economical to construct and operate while allowing for ease of maintenance, a smoother ride, and improved durability over time. The smooth-side style was adopted by many railroads across North America for their high-priority streamlined express trains, lasting in common service until the mid-1970s. Today, smooth-side cars are frequently found on excursion trains, while some examples remain in revenue operation as commuter cars or corporate business cars.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"iconlist col_half nobottommargin\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eModel: 14357\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUPC: 022899143576\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScale: N 1:160\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThis Product is Recommended for Ages 14 \u0026amp; Up.\u003cdiv class=\"license-text\"\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"col_half col_last product-desc\"\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"col_half\"\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"BACHMANN","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46119461257429,"sku":"BAC14357","price":19.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0519\/7381\/6480\/files\/04ff8ad29ba084a5daf0a690fa75af9568694d38.jpg?v=1780289950","url":"https:\/\/www.htdirect.com.au\/products\/bachmann-union-pacific-1576","provider":"HTDirect","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
